Pros & Cons
Pros
White shell, dark brown padding, and matte chrome accent makes it look so luxurious. They fit comfortably snug on me, but someone with a head on the wider side might find them tight.
Where the 599 really shines is how fashionable it looks. The hd599 keeps the energetic (and bass light) sound of the hd598. Their predecessor the 560s are mildly superior in their clarity.
Excellent entry level product into the audiophile space. The dac removes the issues of pc connections and allows me to use a spectacular analog amp. I listen to spotify via lg v40 with it's quad d.
The soundstage is what i've been seeking and missing with closed back and in-ears. Quiet sounds are delicate and well placed while explosions are thunderous.
Joshua bells stradivarius sounds superb on amazon hd. Schory’s new percussion ensemble has your senses tracking all over the stage! Hearing the space between parts of the music, details i'd never picked up before, it's all exceptionally enjoyable.
Cons
The soundstage is the worst i've ever heard in my life. Sound is distant and thin/hollow. Guitar/vocal songs sound empty.
Not worth the $99 on prime day, much less its $300 msrp. Honestly while these are functional headphones there is no reason to get these over the 598's or spend more and get the 650's. It makes me think a little less of both amazon as well as sennheise... Read More
Overpriced product with garbage proprietary connections. Looks like another product made cheaper just for amazon. It tends to be hard to review an item after a few years.
Due to poor design, the adapter is like 4in long. Will bend if bumped or nugged. Wouldn't survive a firm head shake, jogging or running.
Highlights
Quality
The sound is very highly detailed and accurate and has very good soundstage
Great sound quality i use them for piano and keyboard playing the sound quality is excellent and is ideally suited for this purpose
Never loses quality no matter the volume from the softest soft to the loudest loud
My last pair only had one joint and after a year of use the stress broke the plastic casing
Price
80 bucks is a steal for these
At 129 this was an excellent purchase
I realize now that you need to spend 1000s of dollars to get good bluetooth headphones
So instead of lowering the main price they just put it on forever sell to increase the buyers into thinking they are saving money
Shipping
Glad i got these on prime day
Packaging/appearance
In the box the longer cable was already attached and i did not know it should be detachable
I then discovered a second headphone cable was already in the original box which i had not noticed
My only issue is packaging it arrived with which a plastic bag
The box has some bruises but luckily the headphones were unharmed and in a perfect state
Competitiveness
They are better than the vinyl headphone pads that tend to disintegrate over time on other headphones such as sony headphones
Sennheiser has been my goto brand for quite a while and i upgraded to these from the hd400s
Ive tried other brands of headphones and keep coming back to the sennheiser hd 599
I may even purchase another pair as i dont know of anything better on the horizon
